Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

To determine whether you’re a good candidate for teeth whitening, you'll first need a consultation with Dr. Hudson. He will review your medical history and examine your oral health. You’ll also discuss your smile goals so he can tailor treatment to produce the best results. Stains and discoloration caused by dark-colored beverages, smoking, certain medications, and aging can all be treated with in-office or take-home whitening, but he will decide which method is right for you.

And don’t worry if your teeth and gums aren’t in the best shape. Our team can address these issues with restorative treatment before starting the whitening process.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

During your consultation, Dr. Hudson will explain how Opalescence Pro in-office whitening and Premier Perfecta take-home kits work. Each will give you the brighter smile you want, but there are differences between the two:

Take-Home Teeth Whitening

If you like the idea of whitening your teeth when it’s convenient for you, our Premier Perfecta take-home kit makes it easy! Our team will take impressions to create custom trays fitted for your teeth, which will hold the powerful whitening gel in place while it works to eliminate stains. When worn as directed, you should see a brighter smile within 1-2 weeks.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

If you want faster results for an upcoming event, our Opalescence Pro in-office whitening treatment is the best option. In one hour, you’ll see the whiter teeth you’ve been dreaming of. This unique system doesn’t use an LED light. Instead, we mix the whitening gel at your appointment, so it starts targeting stubborn stains as soon as it’s applied. At the end of your visit, we’ll provide custom take-home whitening trays and professional whitening gel so you can maintain your results at home.
